Heilen Biopharm Thyme Essential Oil 100 ml Thymus Vulgaris(100 ml)

A tincture made from thyme is always more effective against the bacterium than tinctures made from marigold or myrrh. In addition, the thyme tincture had a stronger antibacterial effect than the common acne treatment benzoyl peroxide. The word thyme comes from the Greek word “thumos” which means smell, due to the rich fragrance of the plant. The ancient Egyptian medical text, the Ebers Papyrus, dating around 1550 BC, makes reference to the healing virtues of thyme. Egyptians used thyme (they called it “tham”) as one of the herbs in the embalming and mummification process. Medieval herbalists revered thyme for its ability to keep a wound safe from infection, and for healing bronchial infections. They even used it for tucking under the pillow for deeper sleep and warding off bad dreams. Thyme has one of the highest antioxidant levels among herbs.
